Riverside home w/heated pool (seasonal) Durham, NS
Valerie’s place was exactly as pictured. Beds were so comfy we checked to see what mattress she had lol! Lots of space for the 9 of us with 2 dogs and the kitchen had everything you could ever need. A few us were trying to find available times in the summer to come back! Pool wasn’t open yet but we did to enjoy the hottub. That sunroom…all I wanted was a big comfy chair in there and never have to leave. Great house for a fun family weekend!

White Point Resort - Panoramic Ocean View
This home was beautiful! It was perfect for our team away day. The location was perfect, the home was cozy and Danielle was always available to answer our questions.

Spacious 4-Bedroom Historic Downtown Hot Tub
Cozy, spacious home for our family weekend, in the center of town. Madelaine and her crew run a well organized ship and they are very responsive. They made sure to ask if everything was running well and to follow through. Unfortunately the swimming pool was out of order for an unforeseen repair during our stay but Madelaine made sure to provide us with a discount due to this inconvenience. Would highly recommend.

Atlantic Views - 5 Bedroom Exec Home with Pool
Excellent place to stay in New Waterford before riding the Cabot Trail. Pool is heated and views are great. About 5 mins from town but most restaurants deliver - and the new pizza and bakery place is great. Karri & Corri were very responsive and had the place ready within 24hrs notice.

Tranquil Chateau on Moody Lake
Appreciate the quick responses and getting the place ready with such short notice. Plane diversions from weather caused us to end up unexpectedly in Halifax - nice to keep the whole family together and ended up really enjoying the great area.

Strait to your Heart Cottage
Perfect place for my 2 week stay while I worked in town! Had everything I needed and more! Super clear instructions, the host was super awesome and made me feel at home!

The Blue Cottage
PAM &J.P on été extraordinaires. Nous avons été ravis par notre séjour et sommes tombés en amour avec la Nouvelle-Ecosse. Les animaux étaient un extra inattendus. Gustave va beaucoup s’ennuyer de Maple. Petit commentaire QUI N’EST PAS UNE CRITIQUE. Le réfrigérateur n’est pas très grand alors, ne pas faire une trop grosse épicerie à chaque fois. Nous sommes arrivés avec trop de choses et tout ne rentrait pas. Mais encore une fois ce n’est pas grave. Il y une épicerie pas tres loin. Ça se fait très bien. Faut juste pas prévoir trop longtemps d’avance si vous avez une grosse famille comme la mienne. La piscine est extraordinaire!!!!! Près de pleins de belles plages . Nous avons passé un super beau moment en famille!!!

Beach House WoW - This Old Tree
This was a truly fabulous place -- my only regret was not staying longer. We found this listing after planning a trip to Five Islands Provincial Park, as part of a larger road trip around Nova Scotia. Had we known just how wonderful and peaceful the property and area were, we would have stayed longer and used the spot as a bit of a "home base" to do some more exploring around the region. The house is beautiful, and Jennifer and Barclay are really working to create a wonderful small vacation community, with a few other rental units on the property. Jennifer warmly welcomed us on arrival and gave us some local recommendations. The Five Islands Lighthouse Park, which is a 5-minute walk from the unit, is a fabulous place to watch the tide go in and out, and the surrounding residential community feels very warm and welcoming.

Nova Scotia Orchard by the Sea
We loved everything about our stay at Lynn’s beautiful home. The location is perfect if you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful break. The house is super clean and has everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The furniture inside and out is very comfortable. The view of the water is perfect. Lynn is an amazing host who greets you when you arrive and makes you feel at home. She was always quick to answer any questions we had. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us Lynn. We hope to be back someday!

Private Oceanfront Escape
Thank you so much for hosting us. We had an amazing time and really appreciated your warm hospitality. This is such a beautiful place with a breathtaking view—it was truly unforgettable.

Luxury Ocean house at Bull Point Estate
Beautiful location. Easy check in.. extremely easy check out. Hosts were quick at responding, and answered all questions. The hot tub is small .. would have appreciated a 4 person hot tub. House was spacious and well organized. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. The large fireplace would have been enjoyed,during a rainy evening but wasn’t useable. Great outdoor space. Views were spectacular!! We would definitely stay here again!

The Beach House- Nordic Spa
Absolutely gorgeous property! The pictures don’t do it enough justice. Hosts have thought of everything, so much attention to detail. It was a true luxury experience. Favourite airbnb to date. We were all sad to leave. Thanks for providing such a wonderful place and memory!

The Blythe
Christine’s place is gorgeous and a must see. If you like designer accommodations, this takes the cake! The location is gorgeous and has a lovely view! Christine was also amazing and extra accommodating with us given som trip interruptions. We very much appreciated it!

Oceanfront Sunset Beach House
What an absolute slice of heaven this place is! We travelled from NS with the entire family and made memories to last a life time. The house, the property, and the beach is picture perfect. Not to mention, the field of cows next door… AMAZING! The hosts are absolute gems and were extremely responsive and lovely to deal with. We are in the works of planning our 2026 summer trip back! 10/10 recommend to anyone and everyone. Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise with us, Ashley! 🤍

The Twee House at Meisners Beach
My favorite airbnb ever! So clean and comfortable and well-stocked, also really beautifully decorated. Private but also a convenient location. I loved greeting the animals at the farm next door every morning and hanging out on the beach or in the garden. Angie & Scott were super helpful and welcoming. I hope I can stay again!

Lakefront 2BR cottage w/ hot tub
An absolutely dream staying here. Beautiful location and cottage, everything you need on hand. Private and peaceful. Will definitely be staying again ❤️

Taigh-Solais… Your Seaside Escape
Very relaxing three days, enjoyed the view very much

The Lookout - Cottage
Loved this sweet cottage with an ocean view. Every detail is thought of to make it a cozy, comfortable and relaxing weekend away. Thank you to the wonderful hosts.

The Pearl, Sauna, Hot Tub & Quiet!
The Pearl was a beautiful place to stay! From the furnishings and artwork, to the amenities (like a hot tub and sauna) and private surroundings, it had everything you would hope to find in a vacation getaway. Liz put extra care and thought into this home, and it shows. Fresh bread and eggs for breakfast, scented candles for a cozy ambiance, wood for an indoor fire or a heat pump for added warmth, and soap, shampoo, lotion, etc that is free of many allergens and chemicals) just to name a few. I honestly could have left half of what I packed at home as this place has it all! My only regret is I wish I had more time to spend there. Don't delay in booking this space.

Luxury oceanfront / 36 acres privacy
We really enjoyed our time in the cottage and would love to return in the summer for a longer stay!

Log Home Luxury
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect to visit the surrounding area such as the local Wineries, Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove. At the end of the day, the log home was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a sunset on the lake. We made great memories this week. Thank you for sharing this beautiful log home with us.

Ocean House with hot tub, indoor sauna, and kayaks
Our family of six adults really enjoyed this beautiful, well-appointed house — particularly the location. This new home has incredible views and we spent considerable time enjoying the wildlife that came into the cove. The hot tub, sauna, croquet set, and kayaks were really special added bonuses of which we took advantage. The house had everything we needed in regard to linens, kitchen items, and entertainment. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The location was very private and peaceful — we didn’t see another person save some friendly waves from passing boats. We drove about 25 minutes for a dinner in Shelburne and visited Digby (2 hours away) and Mahone Bay (~1.5 hours away) while we were there, but also — because of the beautiful setting — ended up spending more time at the house than originally intended. Highly recommend!

The Garden by the Sea
What a beautiful place to spend a weekend very clean very organized and a deer waiting for us. when we pulled in the driveway. Our stay was lovely. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Thomas.

Fire&Stone Oceanfront Retreat
Not 1 complaint. The hosts thought of everything a guest might need for a comfortable stay and had it there. My friends and I had a really great time and enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and propane fire table. We will have to come back to try the sauna. 10/10
